When it comes to running your business, you’ve likely learned that it’s beneficial to expect the unexpected.

As we know, in a state such as Michigan, the weather can be unpredictable. You want to ensure that you are protected against losses from flooding, drought, heat, wildlife, and other natural causes. If you make an income using your land or dwelling, agribusiness insurance may cover you in these instances.

Whether you need to protect your farm, ranch, vineyard, or winery, finding the right agribusiness insurance policy is critical. Of all of the investments you will make, obtaining insurance will help to secure that your business can remain profitable.

Without it, one severe storm can destroy your unprotected crops or livestock, taking away your income. This type of loss may not only set you back but it may also shut your business down, as well. 

What is agribusiness insurance?

Even if you’re running your business from home, your standard homeowners insurance policy will not cover what an agribusiness insurance policy does. Learning what type of coverage you can receive with agribusiness insurance will allow you to see how it can be beneficial. 

For example, your homeowners insurance would not cover your livestock or farm equipment if a natural disaster occurred. Or, if someone vandalized your farm or stole from it, it would be considered a loss. A homeowners policy would not protect you from these unfortunate occurrences. 

Agribusiness insurance is a policy created to protect businesses in the agricultural market that make all or most of their income from agriculture. In this line of business, owners typically need protection for their farming equipment, machinery, livestock, product, and dwelling, all of which can be covered under this type of policy.

What are examples of agribusiness?

There are many types of agribusinesses today. In the past, you would have probably pictured a small farm, growing corn, or caring for and using their livestock. However, agribusinesses include farm supply stores, grain dealers, milling elevators, pesticide and fertilizer distributors, and even food processing plants. 

Examples of Agribusinesses include the following:

If your business participates in the production, marketing, safety, or distribution of food, you qualify as an agribusiness.  Therefore, you could be eligible for agribusiness insurance. Do let this limit you, though. Your business does not have to be involved in the production of food to qualify. 

For instance, Deere & Company is considered an agribusiness, and they do not produce food. Instead, they offer equipment such as tractors and balers. 

Finally, An agribusiness does not have to be a large corporation or company to be insured. Small and medium-sized businesses are eligible for protection too. 

If you would like to determine if your business falls under the agribusiness category, reach out to an expert insurance agent at Frost & Remer.
